[B-Greek] unicode

Bert,

This came up on B-Hebrew as well. I receive the digest of both lists  
and I have never been able to read the unicode. I have a Mac so I was  
pretty sure it had nothing to do with UTF-8 settings. Then someone  
finally mentioned that there is an option when you first registered  
for the list that sets whether you want to receive plain text or MIME- 
encoded messages. Mine was set to plain text for both which explains  
why Unicode doesn't work.

To change the setting go to the B-Greek page  http:// 
lists.ibiblio.org/mailman/listinfo/b-greek. At the bottom of the page  
enter your e-mail into the field labeled "unsubscribe or edit  
options" and click the button. Enter your password and precede to the  
options page. Set "Get MIME or Plain Text Digests" to MIME.

For future reference this is most likely the culprit and not e-mail  
client settings unless you are using a really old e-mail client.
